CA AB2769

Expands existing law to allow businesses and organ procurement organizations to both "scan" and "swipe" driver's licenses or identification cards issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles for verification, legal compliance, check processing, and fraud prevention purposes.

Prohibits businesses and organ procurement organizations from retaining or using scanned or swiped driver's license information for any purpose other than those specifically authorized by law.

Establishes procedures for organ procurement organizations to scan driver's licenses to register individuals with the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry, requiring clear notice and written confirmation to applicants.

Violation of these provisions constitutes a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in county jail for up to one year, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because the act only changes the definition and penalty for crimes.
